Yeah, I grew up ten minutes from the sticksTen minutes from the beachAnd there ain't a Bible verse, y'allI ain't heard a preacher preachMom and Dad up in the bleachersScreaming while I pitch

Beating deep on the speakersFinally riding around the townWith my best friends, ain't life like a whirlwindOne second I'm playing checkers with GrandmaThen my world endsI used to hear my granddaddy sayBefore it's too late

You gotta dig your roots'For the sun comes downShow some love back to your hometownFall in love, plant some seedsCarve some names in the family treeRaise your kids, love your wifePut God first, just to live your lifeHey, I think I'm gonna goAnd get a little more dirt on my bootsYou gotta dig your roots

Yeah, I'm a long haired, tattooed, feather in the windYeah, a good ol' boy, just like my old manEvery night when I'm singingI know he's looking downUp there next to PawpawGot the best seats in the houseWhen I close my eyes I can still hear him sayThe same thing I'm gonna tell my kids

You gotta dig your roots'For the sun comes downShow some love back to your hometownFall in love, plant some seedsCarve some names in the family treeRaise your kids, love your wifePut God first, just to live your lifeHey, I think I'm gonna goAnd get a little more dirt on my bootsYou gotta dig your roots

I'm so of proud of where I came fromThis town is who I amAnd the way I was raised upMade me a better manI'm proud of where I cam fromAnd damn I love this landAnd the way that I was raised upMade me a better man

You gotta dig your roots'For the sun comes downShow some love back to your hometownFall in love, plant some seedsCarve some names in the family treeRaise your kids, love your wifePut God first, just to live your lifeHey, I think I'm gonna goAnd get a little more dirt on my bootsYou gotta dig your roots
